can anyone reccomend a real estate atorney around the tampabay area . im supposed to close on a house on friday and i got a call at 730 tonight and was told the paperwork on the morgage got messed up (fault of my broker) and i would need another $1600 to close on friday or if we pull out of the deal because i dont have $1600 i will lose my escro depositof $1000. so needless to say i need an attorney like tomarrow morining . any help would be appreciated thanks nick
Tell the broker and the realtor to split the difference. Neither one of them will get paid if you walk and with the housing industry as tough as it is right now they can't afford for you to walk. Just don't let the lock expire in the meantime. Rates have sky rocketed in the last week, from 5.5% to around 6.5%. I expect them to settle a little but that's a HUGE jump in a short period.
PS. you wouldn't be in this predicament if you would've called me from the get go.
